This book seems absolutely incredible! Before you even get into reading it, you are greeted with the most GORGEOUS cover ever! I love the character's names, the little hints of magic sprinkled throughout what would otherwise be a historical fiction, and the imagery is impeccable! It was such a great touch to add a new language into the book, and following along as the main character learned to speak was such a beautiful journey! I can't wait to read the rest of this! I know that it is going to be one of my favorites.
